Reinstall everything. Still does not work. Can't select to run .jar files in java, can't use "java" command. Even though it's apparently installed.

What should I do? I'm worried that something somewhere has messed up Java's ability to run, and I'm going to have to reinstall Lubuntu. :(

EDIT: So, I'm watching youtube currently. Which I thought required Java. Removing the installer is supposed to have removed the browser-plugin. And I don't have iced-tea. Atleast, I thought I had removed it.

What is going on? haha

Is done at your own risk and I take no responsibility for any loss or damage (as usual). You could try to install the oracle-java6-installer or oracle-java8-installer from the webupd8team repository before reinstalling the OS.

Re: Oracle Java 7 no longer functioning

Oracle Java 8 seems to have installed correctly. I uninstalled minecraft, just in case I messed something up there. So I'll have to post when I get it installed... it's an... err.... alternate install ;P

Seems to have worked perfectly. Not only that, but the usual fix associated with it doesn't need to be done.

I got it working this time. Java 8 seems to run minecraft better than java 7.

I'll probably do this when I reinstall my OS anyways. It'll help me learn :P

Generally speaking many situations sometimes seem to be all messed up. The worst part would be to attempt to try to show a little kindness by helping, only latter to be accused of destroying everything.

I would try to follow these instruction if you ever need Java 7 working, the link that you posted: http://askubuntu.com/questions/84483...uninstall-java
Then open PCManFM, make sure that the /usr/lib/jvm folder is empty and go to /home/USERNAME, press Ctrl+h and make sure the Oracle Java directory is empty.
